let's Cry to sleep Together

Let me start with something simple. Something that everyone feels sometimes. Something that can eat you up, or motivate you.

Sadness.

Sadness, I think we can all agree, sucks hard core. And, really, everyone feels it.
There is not one person who hasn't felt sadness. From that moment you're born and you see the bright light and it gets really cold, you get kind of sad. Cause you were so warm and didn't have to worry about breathing before. Now you do.

But the thing is. It get's better. The sadness I mean.

Now, there are some people who have felt it more than others. I could say people who don't have homes. People who starve. People who aren't free. But I'm going to say people who are in pain.

What is pain? It's different for everyone. A pillow hit may feel like a kick to the stomach to some, and it might feel like an ant crawling on your finger to others.
So that's physical pain.

What about the pain people can't see?

Raise your hand if you've ever cried yourself to sleep.
Haha, did you just raise your hand all alone in front of your computer? That was cute, you cutie!
But really, who has done that? I have. I for sure have. And it sucks. Crying isn't my favorite pass time in the world, I'm sure it's not yours, either.

And let's just talk about this for a second. Crying yourself to sleep. I don't even want to begin with the ideas of why you're doing it. I don't. Straight up, everyone has their reasons. Remember? At the beginning of the post? I said that people experience things differently (okay, maybe not in those exact words...), and something that's small to you, could be big to me. And something small to me, might be big to you. So I'm not even going to start. I'm not going to fathom.

And sometimes, you just hate everything. You hate life. You hate even yourself. But guess what? I don't hate you.

But you know what always makes crying better? Warm blankets, soft tissues, and a friend who understands.

Now. I know we don't know each other. And I know I don't understand. But listen.

You gonna cry to sleep? I'm in.
